Made possible by the George and Helen Ladd Charitable Corporation, the Ladd Internship Program was begun in 1978 by George E. Ladd Jr., a Bates benefactor interested in exposing liberal arts students to the working world. Through the program, the college and the sponsoring organization divide the cost of the salaried internships for up to four months.

This year, seven of the individual sponsors at the participating companies or institutions are Bates alumni.
